Born to student parents who were visiting his father's homeland

To the editor,

Since about 30-percent of U..S voters still question where Obama was born, I’d like someone to explain why Obama refuses to publicly release what he claims is his official birth certificate? Why has he spent over $2,000,000 to hide that information? Any of us will, and have, released our birth certificates many times!

With certified data from Kenya on Obama’s birth there, and records that show his parents moving back to Honolulu, submitting birth information to the newspaper, which was published, and submitting data to local hospital, which was acknowledged (which is what many try to call his birth certificate), why isn’t it clear that Obama was born in Kenya, to student parents visiting his father’s home, who, as soon as possible, went back to Honolulu to record the birth?

Why also does Obama, or his parents, refuse to tell us anything about his Kenya passport to move to Indonesia for about 10 years, raised as a Muslim? It is not even clear yet when he came back to Honolulu, or what happened to his step father, before he arrived in Chicago. Who will fill in the blanks? Clearly Obama doesn’t want any of that known. WHY?
